WRIST PASTE CONTAINER ANDVDISTRIBUTOR.

Application filed May 29,

This invention relates to wrist carried container, and its .primaryobject'is to pro vide a wrist container to be carried vby printers,during the perform'ancelof their daily work, said container being filledwith ordinary printers paste, ready for immediate continuous use.

Heretofore printers have been accustomed to carry a certain quantity ofsaidppaste, directly poured over the skin of their left hand to be readyfor use at any moment, collecting `said paste from said deposit byineans yof the fingertips of the right hand. This system, besides beingunhealthy for the skin, which suffers on account of the contact with therapidly drying paste, is also impractical on account of some of saidpaste being lost, from time to time, through careless handling, spoilingand spotting other work, and also on account of absolute aln senr-e ofmeans adapted to permit a certain constant amount of said paste only tobe' collected by the finger tips at every operation.

Furthermore, the paste being spread over the skin in quite a fiat andlarge paste cake, dries very quickly and must be thrown away and renewedvery often.

lt is among` the objects of this invention to provide a practical formof container of the paste, which may easily be secured to the wrist ofthe operator, the paste vbeing protected from contact with the skin, andthe air and other objects, during the different working processes, saidcontainer being at the same time of such a construction to insure aneasy and even distribution of a constant amount of paste tothe fingertips.

This invention, therefore, has for its object to relieve the workmenfrom the burden of carrying the paste directly collected over the skinof their left hand, and. furthe@ more,rthe purpose of ameliorating thekind of work that is possible, through themedium of said distributingcontainer, by regulating to a constant quantity, the amount of pastethat may be collected at eachy ope ation by the finger tips.

Other objects and aims of the invention will more fully appear as thedescription proceeds and will be set forth and .claimed in the appendedclaim.

In the accompanying drawings l have shown merely the preferredembodiment of my invention in a practical device, but I re serve myselfthe right to modify the details 1926. Serial No. 112,680.

oi said construction, as may fairly enter into the spirit of theinvention and the appended claim.

ln the drawings:

Fig. l is a. side elevational view of a wrist band carrying the pastecontainer shown in transverse section, and

lFig. 2 is a plan top view, partly broken. a yay, of the device shown inFig. 1.

Referring to vthe drawings, the reference character designates the wristband proper, which may consists of a leather, cloth or other suitablestrap, having buckle di,

vice 11 for connecting` together its opposite wrist. 12 designates thelower or base meuiber of the paste container secured to strap 10 byrivets lf2-dll, or any other suitable means. Said container may bestamped from sheet metal or other appropriate inaterial, and may beshaped in any desired form, for instance, in the form of a flatcylindrical box as shown. 15 is the upper or cover member of saidcontainer, which is also stamped outfroni sheet metal, and is providedwith a central circular opening` 1G The cover has an open beaded edge 17closely fitting the boisv and forming a small circular internal chamber18 in which a spring 19 will be secured by its natural expansion, aswill more clearly be explained later.

Between said boX proper 12 and said cover 15 is enclosed said circularspring 19, the inside end 2O of which is in any manner secured to thebottom of box 12, for instance, by inserting end 20 of spring 19 in ahole 21 drilled through the head of rivet 14. The other end Q2 of spring19 is inserted, by compression, in the hollow chamber 1S, which has beenformed by internally overlapping the marginal circular end of cover 15,said spring being set thereto. permanently, and kept in place by itsnatural tendency to expand.

The various parts of the device are mounted together in such a way as tokeep cover 15 substantially .in the position shown in Fig, 1, when thebox proper 1Q is filled with the paste to be used by the printer, saidcover forming a closing marginal fitting sufiicient to keep the pastefairly airtightly protected in the box.

When the printer needs to use some of the pastel-from the container, byapplying a. finger tip over hole 16, and exercising a downward pressureon the cover 15, the paste, be-

ends in position encircling the workmans ing compressed in said box,will `besqueezed out of hole 16, against the pressing finger tip, sothat a certain limited amount of the paste will always stick to saidfingertip for immediate use by the printer.

Once the pressure on cover 15 is released, spring 19 will again expand,pushing cover 15 in the resting position shown, ready for anothersimilar operation through another finger tip pressure.

Itis thus seen that I provide a very simple and efficient Wrist pastecontainer anddistributor. and that saidcoutainer made in such a Way asto provide a convenient receptacle for that kind of semi-liquidsubstance, and very simple means whereby said .substance ma)Y be easilytaken from said box in practically constant. quantities ready forimmediate use, by pressure from the same finger that is due to'conveythe paste on the printers Work. In this Way not only the kind ofWork is greatly accelerated, but the Work that can be done through theuse of said container, results in cleaner and honrogeneou's effects.

It will also readily be seen by those skilled in the art, that saidcover may be easily removed by ordinary means, with the spring, from thebox, for a general cleaning of 'the vdevice after prolonged used, orwhen said box will have to be refilled with fresh paste.

From the foregoing, it is obvious that my invention is not to berestricted to the exact embodiment shown, but is broad enough to coverall structures coming Within the scope of the appended claim.

wWhat I claim is:

A combined container and dispenser 'for paste comprising a cylindricalbox struck from a` single sheet metal blank open at the top and having aflat bottoml` a cover having an inturned beaded edge close fitting saidbox, a helical spring secured at one end to the bottom of the box andhaving its vopposite end coil fixedly embedded in the cover bead, and asingle central vent in said cover to permit passage of the paste.
